How much honey? Crap! That didn't sound right. LOL What amount of honey do we need to use? When I was a sergeant for different prisons, the inmates would make something called Pruno. Your recipe is a better quality of Pruno but that's what they called it. Instead of yeast, they used pieces...

Completely agree with you. I'm older and don't drink like I did when I was younger. My wife doesn't drink beer so it's a waste to have 5 gallons going bad in the fridge. My only issue is the small batch makes it hard to get a nice filtered beer out. Siphoning for me has been a nightmare and I...

Okay. Good comparison item. The issues I see with what you posted and Catalyst are a conical and stand vs a full system. this are the following: 6.5 Gallon Tank with Lid vs conical w/ lid Stand (Base, 2 Legs, 2 Support Beams, 8 Screws) vs stand INCLUDED ADD ONS 3&#8221...

That's what i wanted to know. Especially about using bags instead of pellets. The company making this sells a one gallon kit I used to learn about brewing instead of going full on and spending money on stuff I don't know how to use. Their kits utilize a bag. Makes sense they use it for this. I...

You already have a lot of equipment so it doesn't make a lot of sense to start over with something new. You're already doing everything and comfortable with the results. It works great! So why change to something to start all over. I'm new so this could be a good investment and then grow into...

I wasn't referring to you making things up, and I tried hard to avoid doing that. I was referencing some other comments. Sorry for the confusion. As I said before I agree with you on several points. If someone new was starting out and didn't own a great deal of equipment, had little or no...

Thorsbrew: "I partially agree and see both sides. While yes the costs of a start up are immense and dictate the reality of what they must charge for their product I feel people supporting the small guy overlook the other aspect of it which is also reality. From the consumer's standpoint the...

The video shows it EMPTY on a counter. It's designed to be on the floor or a raised shelf so the video isn't a lie and it isn't harder work. Commonsense goes a long way. Come on. Really?

People don't understand the enormous cost to take an idea and turn it into reality. Molds are extremely expensive to make and then manufacturing involves payment for all materials and labor up front. Then of course there is the business end of these, taxes, legal fees, everything any business...

Did it perform as advertised? It looks like it would be perfect for a new person to use. I've always had trouble with siphoning and clearing the crap from the wort. Did it seem easier without the additional steps used in traditional brewing? I read all of the negative comments above and wanted...

davisc1513, I can do a documentary quicker than waiting on a network. Average of two years for a network to bring a show to market. I think maybe a mini series with a mix of documentary and reality show put together would be excellent. Get it completed and to market fast while having a completed...

Mystikty, I think so too.These are some great ideas to consider for the show. Thanks. Mike

Thanks for the support.

I've decided to go with option three. Building a show on people trying to get their dream brewery open. By following people getting all their permits, and showing their stories, those people get a lot of great publicity and the public's product recognition. That helps them brand and market...

That sounds pretty real to me.

My show won't be like that, especially because I brew and want to learn more about it.what a great way to meet people too. I don't want people bashing people. HERS aren't like that, at least the ones I've talked with. Actually just the opposite. We all help each other and that's why I...

Reality TV is like that. Repeating shots from different angles and the like. The show is a lot like brewing in that the right ingredients have to happen at the right time or it's a total loss. And it's hard work working with people that have never been in front of a camera before. A good...

Wow! What a response. I didn't think I'd have so many comments so fast. Let me say thank you. Even for some of the negative stuff. I've had positive feedback and some non constructive comments. To answer several questions about it being faked or kept real, I'm keeping it 100% real. Number...

I agree. I've had some negative comments but I think 3 is what I'd like to do, maybe with the people having several recipies, marketing tasting and so on. It would be great to see the failures and the struggles to recover. I will be showing real brewers, not the "Ken aND Barbies" but...

I write reality shows and I'm a home brewer. I've been wanting to do a show on home brewing but I need the members opinions of what to create. I just need to know what they think is going to create the best story and exemplify home brewers to the public at large. I HAVE to tell a story. Here...
